Aouar, a gifted 20-year-old midfielder, has been on the books of Lyon since 2009.

He broke into the first-team ranks of the Ligue 1 giants for the first time at the beginning of last year, and has since gone on to establish himself as one of the most highly-regarded young talents in French football.

To this point in the current campaign, the versatile midfielder has notched 5 goals and 4 assists across all competitions.
